    Eydie L.

    I've been coming here for years, at least 10+. So the fact that he did me so dirty is unbelievable. Jaw dropping really. Left my car for repair. Payed $1100 upon pick up. When I drove off everything felt fine and then I took a turn left and that's when I noticed it. My outside rearview mirror was broken and just swaying back and forth. Immediately I turned around and went back to cv auto care. I said hey what happened to my mirror. Either you guys broke my mirror or somebody driving through hit the mirror and broke it. He just looked at me and said well we don't know, I don't know. I said check the cameras and he says to me, they don't work. Which is a bold face lie because I asked the gentleman who sells cars on the same lot if they worked and he said that they do. Then (and here's the real kicker) the mechanic tells me if I buy the mirror he'll put it on for free. In all the years and all the cars this guy has never done anything for free. Boom! That's how I know he fu#%*+ did it. But wait it gets worse. My car was also missing a light not the bulb and actual light when I asked him for it he couldn't find it. Wtf! Of course I left pissed off. Filed a complaint with the better business bureau which he responds to and to try and smooth it out with the bbb he sends me a text asking me driver side mirror right (which he knows what mirror come on now) I texted him yup and that was over two months ago. He basically was just trying to get the bbb of his a##. I'm a single widowed mom living in California life is hard enough for me. So yeah. My mirror still swings back and forth when I turn which is super dangerous but he doesn't give a f#%^. Straight assh#%^.

    The bait/trap coupon the use

    Beware! It's TRUE about the false advertising. I didnt want to believe it. Went in with my $20 (plus 8 for certificate) coupon and they said no, it would be $68 plus however much for certificate. I said no thank u, the coupon says 20 for cars 1996 and newer. They continued to argue that the car is too old and doesnt qualify for the $20 price. We say no and try to leave and they say theyll lower the total price to 50:/ ok fine we agree. So instead of $28 I agree to $50. Smh. It failed but I've had cars in the past not fail at places and that's not the issue but the reason they failed it. Took it to another shop today and passed. They stole $50 from me and how could I not warn my fellow Yelpers and community...

    I have a diesel car that needed a desperate oil change. I called a day ahead and was asked to come early morning because they get busy. I arrived exactly at 8am and service was done in less than 20min. Ismael helped me out and gave me great advice on my car maintenance. I will be coming back for my car needs. Staff is knowledgeable, courteous and just pleasant. THANK YOU guys!!

    Rude+lair=not good for business

    Went in for a smog check after calling business. They quoted me over the phone for 49$. But when I got there they charged me 67$. The customer service was bad. The guy was very rude and when I called him out on the 49$ quote he played stupid. Uh I don't remember quoting you that. I get about a thousand calls everyday. Another lie the phone wasn't even ringing when I got there. You don't have to lie on top of another lie. Anyways shady business Don't even think of coming here. P.S. The only plus was the car was done in 10 minutes.

    Thought I'd give this Smog place a try. They have a very slick website and had advertised $19.99 smog plus certificate ($8.00). I arrived prior to 8am to be there right at opening. Watched the garage open up and at 8am left my vehicle and approached one of the smog guys. As I approached, he said to wait another 10 minutes. Sure. I waited until he motioned for me to come. I told him I came because of the coupon on the website. He said that did not apply to my vehicle. Okay, I get that. My Pathfinder is a 1999. He states that it will $42 +$8 for certificate with a total of $50. Higher than the last place I had taken it too, but I'm there, so I agree. Smog takes about 20 minutes, my Pathfinder had to go on a Dyno. As I watched, the smog guy puts my vehicle on a lift and raises it in the air. Interesting. I've been to many smog places and have never had my vehicle in the air for smog. Just an observation. They motioned to me that my Pathfinder was done. It passed. They charge me the $50 plus a 3% credit/debit card fee(?!) for a total of $51.50 (this is the 1st time I've been charged a fee in all the smog places I have been to. With a family of 5, we have a few cars). I get it that business is slow and you have to look for opportunities to make sales but if you put my vehicle in the air, there better be a reason or an explanation why and to charge a 3% credit/debit fee, seriously. Anyway, 4 stars for almost a fast smog and passing at that.

    Store front and technician sitting down with his armes crossed careless.

    I brought my car in for a brake and light inspection. If you are aware of the procedure of this inspection it requires the technician to remove your tires and rear brake drums /rotors and pads. Two days later after bringing it in this shop my rear brakes locked up and almost caused a collision which scared me a lot. The manger name is victor and the owners name is chris. They refused to repair my vehicle or even inspect it to check if they had made a mistake while put the vehicle back together. Never bring your car to this place they don't care about their customers at all. The guy in the picture is named victor. We drive every day at 65 mph to get around town don't put your life at risk don't trust this place.

    See all

    When I called this location my call went to a Call Center in Kentucky. I wanted to talk to the…read morestore to find out if the could get my car done today or not. The Call Center misled me into thinking they were at the store and they are NOT! Your Call Center should be more transparent about this. This is a MAJOR ISSUE. Your Call Center assured me that they "will get me in and out" with brakes, an oil change, and four new tires at 4 pm, and to "come right in", and "I have a 4 pm appt for you". LIES!! I walked into the store and they were slammed.. Simón said that there was no 4 pm appt for me, but he would take good care of me anyways. I raised my voice at him, "I just talked to you!" "You said 'in & out'". He calmly said he did not talk to me, but will take good care of me. I calmed myself. I was so angry. He said he would NEVER make a 4 pm appt for someone who needed brakes, 4 tires, and an oil change, when they close at 5 pm. It all made perfect sense. Simón offered to get my tires and oil change started, but offered to inspect my car to see if I even needed brakes. I agreed. It turned out my back brakes were at 6 mm and my fronts were 4 mm, so I still had time to change them. They squeezed me in even though they had cars they were trying to get out of the shop. EXCELLENT management by these guys to fix the predicament their "Call Center" had suckered me into. Evan's Tire & Service in Lemon Grove is a super place with super employees! They gave me a great price, and I was out of there at 5 pm. You need to fix your Call Center though- these stores are welcoming angry customers like me, because they are being lied to. Good job Simón & crew! I owe you one. The Call Center review would be 0 stars.

    These guys are honest and will help you with your service at an affordable cost…read more I came here after calling over 10 different auto repair shops to inquire about my car's dysfunctional air conditioning fan knob. This location was the only one patient enough to hear out what service I needed instead of just telling me to come in for an expensive diagnostic. Andre was the one who picked up call and answered my question and he is the guy that I've had service my car every time I visit. When I initially came in for a diagnostic of my car's fan knob, Andre went above and beyond to look at it and temporarily set it to my preferred fan setting so I could use my AC until I came back to get the full repair done. He was honest and explained all the different options for repair which included some very expensive ones along with very cheap repairs. He said he wanted to try the cheapest fix first to see if everything would work out and fortunately it did and I was able to avoid a big car maintenance bill. He was flexible with scheduling and was able to get my car back to me within 6 hours which I appreciated since I had a tight schedule at that time. Since then, I've had my oil changed here, breaks checked and cleaned up, and water pump replaced on top of the aforementioned air condoning knob all done at this location.

I've had a multitude of different problems with my truck being fairly old, and each time I bring it to them they make sure it's all taken care of with great customer service and a job well done.
